iCloud email on aPC

Hi.
I have been using iCloud for my calendars and contacts for ages now and it works perfectly for me.

However, I am now migrating my email to iCloud also.

Why is my email activity mirrored between my iPhone5 and iPad4, yet when I log in to iCloud via my PC, any messages I might have deleted or moved on either of my iDevice's are still showing in the inbox on my PC.

For example: I receive an email, read it on my iPhone and delete it. On my iPhone that email is sent to the Trash folder. If I check on my other iDevice, the deleted email is in the Trash as it should be. However, on the PC the email is still showing in my inbox.

Not sure if its related but I noticed in Outlook with the iCloud plugin that an archive folder doesn't exist. So maybe when you archive it is doing something that the iCloud plugin is incapable of doing. Just a thought.

Well. I actually stumbled upon the solution myself. With hindsight it's obvious, but I will tell you as it can possibly help others at a later time.

When I was accessing iCloud on my PC, I was signing in with my AppleID, I thought this was the only way to.Then, out of pure curiosty, I signed in with my iCloud email address (this is different to my AppleID, obviously).

As if by magic, It all works and seemlesly 'mirrors' all my iOS devices, just as it should.
